T-Lymphocytes

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.  general; prefer specifics; subpopulations: coordinate T-LYMPHOCYTE SUBSETS (IM) with specific T-LYMPHOCYTE (IM)
